Re: ready to go!
cheers guys. we were going to try the indian instead and then i decided i wanted a chinese, god i wish i hadnt! lol. apart from that the foods been good in restaurants, we've ate in a lot this week because daves mum went to intermarche and bought way too much food. going to try villa medici on friday, hope its good! 
Re: ready to go!
I have never found a decent chinese restuarant in the med. since I have been travelling in search of sun! I was once violently ill after one attempt to find a chinese whilst in Corfu many years ago.
Now I don't bother and instead treat myself to my local chinese when I get home as my first meal in The UK

If you were ill it was probably the rice, it did me in the old indian in Monte Cvo ..I argued forever it was the meat but some cooking expert went through it all and most sickness is reheated rice...when we thought it through we all shared the dishes and only I was ill and I was the only one with rice out of a large party...it was a tough day at aqualand the following day, first one ever to have to get off the congo river and make a fast dash thats having thrown up 4 times on the way!...you dont realise how deep that water is!!

yeah i think it was either the rice or the sauce, i hardly ate any chicken. we went down as soon as it opened so maybe they've reheated since lunch time? although i was the only one that was ill, dave said his beef was fine and his mum said her chicken was also yuck but she wasnt ill afterwards. Maybe i just had a bug or something like that, we went to portmaio the next day and when i got there i ended up feeling even worse, dave had to take me home early. Much better now tho! thinking of trying the indian one night before we leave on saturday. cant believe this weeks went so fast!

I think you need to treat Dave after all the work he has had to do looking after you ...poor guy needs a rest!!
We use the Indian at in the old O Castelo its good for eating in or takeaways if Im over there our place is only 200 meters walk so its an easy job, always get free beer so helps the ruby go down!

Re: ready to go!
hes spent a lot of his time at the golf course so i think thats his treat lol, i doubt hes got any better even with all this practice! 
Re: ready to go!
Joeysoap, spot on with the Indian remarks...O Castello not a patch on O indaino but I maintain that the O Castello is the one for tourists (the view) and the residents use O indiano . Same people own both so its a bit weird they are so different

Disagree. O Castello is a v good Indian restaurant - certainly on a par with our favourite Indian & Bangladeshi restaurants in Bristol.CM wrote:Joeysoap, spot on with the Indian remarks...O Castello not a patch on O indaino but I maintain that the O Castello is the one for tourists (the view) and the residents use O indiano .

Re: ready to go!
I have some old friends who have a weeks golf away from their wives in Marbella every year, they leave their clubs in a garage on the way to the airport and pick them up on the way back.

Re: ready to go!
lol thats funny! if he went to the pub instead then that would explain why he was so bad at golf but he does actually play lol i went round with him the first day but i was bored out my mind so the other times i sat at the clubhouse with my laptop and had a few drinks.
thats me back home, i miss the weather already!

Re: ready to go!
Bristol Si, O Castello is a bit patchy mate, sometimes good but yet capable of being really poor (cold meals, forgotten rice etc etc) Do a Pepsi taste test try both one after the other! order lamb Dansak and see the difference, you will have to have a curry two nights running but its all in the name of research 
Re: ready to go!
Indiano or Castelllo, this is rather like the Ele and Ela debate.
We certainly prefer Indiano, Ok its a bit like sitting in a shop window but we have not had a bad meal there.
How does the new Indian Restaurant compare ?
